Preparing Students for the Future

Our Mission

• To empower students by providing resources to foster future life skills and to make good life choices.
• To teach students how to identify career opportunities that fit their skills, interests, values and personality through relationships with education providers, industry training and employment groups.
• To expose our students to as many pathway opportunities as possible.
• To successfully transition students from school to a career and/or study and/or work.

The Careers Centre is located in the N5. The Careers Centre is open to all students, from all year levels. Seniors are strongly encouraged to regularly check in to familiarize themselves with the latest information from Trades, Tertiary Institutions, and Employers. The Careers Advisors provide one-to-one assistance with career decision making and pathway planning. Up-to-date information is available on courses and career opportunities, as well as support, advice, and guidance for all senior students. Students are encouraged to learn how to self-manage their career enquiries and personal development throughout their lives.
